Spring into Spring!

The nursery is bubbling over with blooms! Our production divisions lay out displays of all their best plants and the bulbs department are this week's winners! Just look at that background of Ixias and the striking contrast with the unusual paintbrush flowers of the Scadoxus!
 
Best of all, the Scadoxus are being offered at a massively discounted special price!

Creeping Gazania rigens are adapatable and hardy, even thriving on the first dune along the seafront. This white form is something slightly out of the ordinary.

Sewejaartjies or everlastings are among South Africans' favorites! Pretty Syncarpha argenteus has pink buds that open to reveal white petals. The papery flowers can be used to brighten up pot-pourri or add that special touch to greeting cards or gifts. This shrublet is also perfect in rockeries. These easy plants can be offered with confidence to those who garden in harsh conditions!

This red data plant is yet another example of how horticulture can assist in conservation of species. Click here to read an interesting article from SANBI about the rescuing of this nearly extinct species and to see pictures of the flowers when open. Our plants are currently in bud.
